Hello Everyone!
I think I mentioned that I was going to take some time this week and play with my camera so today was the day.It is nice and sunny here today and the light in the sun room was just right for taking a few shots.
So I gather up some of my soft and romantic pretty things to do a little shoot.
I am so happy to still have roses in the garden for a little bouquet.
I remembered when I was cutting this rose that a few weeks ago someone asked me the name of it and when I bought it several years ago it had no label on it so it was discounted and of course I had to snap it up as I can't resist a bargain it seems.It is an English rose but that is all I can tell you-sorry.This is the rose photographed by the old picket fence here when I was asked.
The little perfume bottles -one is very old and the other one is new-a thrift shop find.
This is my favorite of all the pics I took today. I hope you enjoyed my Romantic Notions as I much as I enjoyed taking these pics for you!
Enjoy a beautiful day!
Carolyn

Happy wednesday!

So lovely pictures. And the perfume bottle is just adorable. Sure remind us of times that's gone.
ReplyDeleteHope you still have lovely weather. Here it's autumn with rain and hard winds.

It's a beautiful day, isn't it? I bet you're out in the garden today. Your pictures are simply dreamy. You do have a way with the camera! Thank you for sharing your pretties with us. I have sent you an email.

I liked your favorite picture too, so pretty. The roses are just beautiful. Thanks for sharing, Laura Cottage and Broome
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, These are lovely shots of some of your pretties. I love the sense of peace, gentleness and grace you feel looking at them.
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn
ReplyDeleteYour photos are very nice, you have always had the knack for getting the angles right - something I need to work on. Are you still taking your photography course?

Very pretty, nostalgic post, Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteLinda at Beautiful Ideas
Yes, really romantic and of course beautiful pictures :-)
ReplyDeleteCarolyn - Your photos are perfection! You've captured the world I would live in if I could. And those frosted roses in the banner - are they your work, too? Brilliant! Do you enter your pieces in art shows? We have a very active artist's community here - lots of galleries and shows and art societies. You'd show well!
ReplyDeleteJoy!

I agree with everyone else, Carolyn. You should make a career in photography! You are THAT good! I so loved seeing your beautiful white rose today. It was so cold, windy, and rainy here in MI, that your rose was a breath of summer... :)

I did enjoy them! Beautiful shots. It was a lovely day here too but I find with the sun moving around and getting lower in the sky that I'm not getting the light I need for indoor shots. I like your new header photos too. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLoved the photos, Carolyn. Plus, the roses in the header look they were dipped in sparkling sugar crystals. Great job! Susan
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful photos you have they really are beautiful I love how you have your name on them I would love to learn how to do more with the photos I take

Such beautiful portraits of your carefully chosen objects! A beautiful rose color, and that amazing cup. What a wonderful collection you have. With the light and lace it's all just dazzling!
ReplyDeleteLovely as always. I love the light through the lace or eyelet in the last picture. You are a lucky woman to have such luxurious roses in your very own garden. Thank you for sharing your lovely life.
ReplyDeleteI also love the teacup at top with the basket weave inside.
